HK logistics promoted in Vietnam

Leading a Hong Kong Logistics Development Council delegation, Secretary for Transport & Logistics Lam Sai-hung today attended a business luncheon and met several commerce groups in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to promote Hong Kong’s advantages in logistics and explore co-operation opportunities.

Addressing the luncheon, Mr Lam pointed out that Vietnam has always been one of the closest trading partners of Hong Kong and the Mainland.

Noting Vietnam’s rapid economic growth in recent years, he said that Hong Kong’s logistics service providers can offer customised logistics solutions for Vietnamese enterprises.

Mr Lam also cited Hong Kong’s status as the most open international city in the Greater Bay Area, leveraging the distinctive advantages of enjoying the Mainland’s strong support and being closely connected to the world.

He therefore believed that the city could assist Vietnamese products in entering the bay area and the neighbouring regions’ markets, creating unlimited business opportunities for Vietnamese enterprises.

The logistics chief also noted that Hong Kong has attracted approximately 30 strategic enterprises to set up or expand their operations in the city.

Emphasising the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s wishes to establish closer partnerships with Vietnam, Mr Lam invited Vietnamese enterprises to visit Hong Kong to gain firsthand knowledge of its latest developments.

During their visit to Ho Chi Minh City, the delegation met representatives from the Vietnam Logistics Business Association, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce & Industry, and the Hong Kong Business Association Vietnam.

They also toured a large-scale smart logistics park in Ho Chi Minh City.
